The railroad bond question seems to be the
main topic Of talk with the grangers In Usage.
notice In the Railroad Commissioners Report
that the cost Of building and equipping fifteen
railroads costs q little more per mile than the
crOakers say the roads cost. The commissions
ers put these roads down at nearly SIS $50
per mile and this 10 y positive fact for the re-
ports are all made out and sworn to before no.
tary pubiics and verified by the missioners
Again this railroad commission is ali paid by
the railroads, which is quite an item, amount
ing to from twelve to twenty thousand dollars
per year all told, that costs the citizens nUth-
ing. Again, see that the state Of PennsyIya.
MIA pays no real estate tax the railroads and
factories personally pay ali the tax, the rail-
roads bearing the most of the tax burden
Again, l see several railroads don't nav ex.
penses, and but few pay per cent interest ON
cost. The Fort Scott 4 Wichita has gone into

so It appears that this great bug-a-bOO about
railroads making fortunes at the expense of the
farmers is mostly bosh, made by u few hide
